Isager Mulberry Silk is a refined two-ply 100% silk yarn. This luxurious silk yarn is particularly well suited for light knits, shawls, and baby clothes.
This lace-weight silk yarn is especially recommended to be knitted in combination with other yarns. Mulberry Silk immediately adds luxurious softness and an elegant look to knits, as silk creates a beautiful shimmering surface and a refined feel. You can easily substitute this yarn for silk-mohair yarn in knitting patterns if you desire a luxurious finish without the fuzz.
Mulberry Silk is particularly well suited for combining with yarns such as Isager Palet yarn (100% cotton), because silk brings a beautiful sheen and a cool, pleasant feel to matte yarns. Another good option is to combine Mulberry Silk with a wool yarn like Isager's Alpaca 1 yarn (100% alpaca). When knitted with wool yarns, luxurious silk yarn adds softness without the fuzziness characteristic of mohair.
The yarn is spun and dyed in Italy.
